Sri Lanka Army accuses Tamil Tigers of cease-fire violationCOLOMBO, Apr 5, 2005 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Sri Lanka's Army accused the Tamil Tiger rebels of violating the ongoing cease-fire agreement by firing at a Sri Lanka Navy boat in the eastern waters Tuesday.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fired at the Sri Lanka Navy boat at Upparu area in the eastern Trincomalee district.
The boat was on a routine patrol and on board was a member of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) when it was fired at around 10 a.m. local time (04:00 GMT).
"This is a serious violation of the cease-fire", Daya Ratnayake, the defense ministry spokesman said.
The bullets caused five holes on the hull of the boat but no one was hurt.
However, the SLMM representative on board suffered a head gash when he was taking cover hitting his head on the deck.
Although the February 2002 cease-fire agreement had largely been held, this sort of skirmishes had occurred from time to time.
The government, the LTTE and the Norwegian peace brokers are currently deadlocked in their repeated attempts to revive the stalled peace negotiations.
The direct peace talks aimed at ending the long drawn out separatist conflict began in September 2002 came to be stalled in April 2003.

LTTE fires Navy vessel in Trincomalee, wounds a SLMM monitor
Tuesday, April 5, 2005, 14:00 GMT, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Apr 05, Colombo: A Navy inshore patrol craft with a representative of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission and seven sailors aboard, came under LTTE attack with machine guns this morning while the craft was engaged in its routine patrol at Upparu in Trincomalee, injuring the monitor.
Military spokesman Brigadier Daya Ratnayake said that the naval craft, caught in the LTTE shower of more than 75 bullets directed from an LTTE hideout in un-cleared areas received damages to its hull. The SLMM official, Alf Stoelann was injured when he tried to take cover inside the naval craft against the gunfire.
“This deliberate LTTE attempt of shooting in broad daylight, seen as one of the purposeful provocative acts when LTTE very well knew that this boat movement was of a regular one with SLMM onboard, poses a serious threat for naval troops to conduct their legitimate security duties in the sea,” he said.
